Race: Dark Elf//Breton


Skills: Conjuration, Destruction (Ice Magic), Archery, Light Armor.

What other skills would you add to this class?

Enchanting or alchemy, possibly sneak or destruction (for runes).

I play this sort of character, although with a Bosmer. I added alchemy as well, because potions and poisons become very helpful.
Edit: as the person above said, sneak. It's very easy to one-shot enemies with a good bow while sneaking.

Sounds like an interesting idea, but I want to know more. What is a "necroranger"?

Whenever I make a character for ES games, I try to figure out how I am primarily going to be killing stuff. Even if it's not a really kill-centric character.

With your build, it looks like you have at least 2 ways of killing enemies. Archery for range, Destruction for range or, I guess, for setting traps (runes & walls), and Conjuration for presumably raising the dead to fight for you.

Thing is, Archery is sort of hard to use with magic since you'll need to put your bow away to cast.

How do you see playing this character - what's your basic strategy? Sounds neat, so I'm curious.

if you dabble is stealth and alchemy as well as the conjuration for necromancy then i would say you have a very solid playstyle going. use your bow to slay a tough looking foe away from prying eyes and if theyre humanoids enhance there effectiveness by equiping them with a good weapon and let them charge into the fray. as you aid it in killing the people it in life called friends simple but effective and sure to be gratifying.
